Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a novel use of an immunoglobulin Fc fragment. More particularly, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising an immunoglobulin Fc fragment as a carrier, and a method of improving the in vivo duration of action of a drug linked to an immunoglobulin Fc fragment.
  • International Pat. Publication No. WO 01/93911 employs a polymer having a plurality of acid moieties as a drug carrier.
  • International Pat. Publication No. WO 03/00778 discloses an anionic group-containing amphiphilic block copolymers that, when used as a drug carrier for a cationic drug, improve the stability of the drug.
  • European Pat. No. 0 681 481 describes a method of improving the properties of basic drugs by using cyclodextrin and acids as carriers.
  • hydrophobic drugs have low stability in vivo mainly due to their low aqueous solubility.
  • International Pat. Publication No. WO 04/064731 employs a lipid as a carrier.
  • an immunoglobulin Fc fragment as a drug carrier.
  • polypeptides are relatively easily denatured due to their low stability, degraded by proteolytic enzymes in the blood and easily eliminated through the kidney or liver
  • protein medicaments including polypeptides as pharmaceutically effective components
  • this frequent administration of protein medicaments especially through injection causes pain for patients.
  • Pharmaceutical compositions with sustained activity therefore, need to increase the stability of protein drugs and maintain the titers at sufficiently high levels without causing immune responses in patients.
  • PEG polyethylene glycol
  • a conjugate can be prepared by linking an identical protein drug to both ends of PEG to improve the activity of the protein drug.
  • two different protein drugs can be linked to both ends of PEG to provide a conjugate having two different activities. The above methods, however, were not very successful in sustaining the activity of protein drugs.
  • An alternative method for improving the in vivo stability of physiologically active proteins is by linking a gene of physiologically active protein to a gene encoding a protein having high serum stability by genetic recombination technology and culturing the cells transfected with the recombinant gene to produce a fusion protein.
  • a fusion protein can be prepared by conjugating albumin, a protein known to be the most effective in enhancing protein stability, or its fragment to a physiologically active protein of interest by genetic recombination (International Pat. Publication Nos. WO 93/15199 and WO 93/15200, European Pat. Publication No. 413,622).
  • a fusion protein of interferon-alpha and albumin developed by the Human Genome Science Company and marketed under the trade name of ‘AlbuferonTM’, increased the half-life from 5 hours to 93 hours in monkeys, but it was known to be problematic because it decreased the in vivo activity to less than 5% of unmodified interferon-alpha (Osborn et al., J. Phar. Exp; Ther. 303(2): 540-548, 2002).
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,349,053 discloses a fusion protein comprising IL-2 fused to an immunoglobulin Fc fragment through peptide linkage.
  • Other examples of Fc fusion proteins prepared by genetic recombination include a fusion protein of interferon-beta or its derivative and an immunoglobulin Fc fragment (International Pat. Publication NO. WO 00/23472), and a fusion protein of IL-5 receptor and an immunoglobulin Fc fragment (U.S. Pat. No.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,605,690 discloses a TNFR-IgG1 Fc fusion protein, which is prepared by genetic recombination using an IgG1 Fc fragment having amino acid alterations in the complement binding region or receptor binding region.
  • other methods of preparing a fusion protein using a modified immunoglobulin Fc fragment by genetic recombination are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,277,375, 6,410,008 and 6,444,792.
  • Fc fusion proteins produced by genetic recombination have the following disadvantages: protein fusion occurs only in a specific region of an immunoglobulin Fc fragment, which is at an amino- or carboxyl-terminal end; only homodimeric forms and not monomeric forms are produced; and a fusion could take place only between the glycosylated proteins or between the aglycosylated proteins, and it is impossible to make a fusion protein composed of a glycosylated protein and an aglycosylated protein. Further, a new amino acid sequence created by the fusion may trigger immune responses, and a linker region may become susceptible to proteolytic degradation.
  • the inventors of the present application conducted a research, and came to a knowledge that, when a drug is administered in the form of being linked to an IgG Fc fragment, the drug has improved in vivo stability while exhibiting a minimal reduction in the in vivo activity.
  • It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a pharmaceutical composition comprising an immunoglobulin Fc fragment as a carrier.

  • the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition
  • a pharmaceutical composition comprising an immunoglobulin Fc fragment as a carrier.
  • carrier refers to a substance linked with a drug, which typically increases, decreases or eliminates the physiological activity of the drug by binding to the drug.
  • a carrier is employed in the present invention for minimizing a decrease in the physiological activity of a drug of interest, linked to the carrier, while enhancing the in vivo stability of the drug.
  • the present invention is characterized by employing an immunoglobulin Fc fragment as a carrier.
  • the immunoglobulin Fc fragment is safe for use as a drug carrier because it is a biodegradable polypeptide that is metabolized in the body. Also, the immunoglobulin Fc fragment has a relatively low molecular weight compared to the whole immunoglobulin molecule, thus being advantageous in the preparation, purification and yield of conjugates due to. Further, since the immunoglobulin Fc fragment does not contain the Fab fragment, whose amino acid sequence differs among antibody subclasses and which thus is highly non-homogenous, it may greatly increase the homogeneity of substances and be less antigenic.
  • immunoglobulin Fc fragment refers to a protein that contains the heavy-chain constant region 2 (C H 2) and the heavy-chain constant region 3 (C H 3) of an immunoglobulin, and not the variable regions of the heavy and light chains, the heavy-chain constant region 1 (C H 1) and the light-chain constant region 1 (C L 1) of the immunoglobulin. It may further include the hinge region at the heavy-chain constant region. Also, the immunoglobulin Fc fragment of the present invention may contain a portion or the all the heavy-chain constant region 1 (C H 1) and/or the light-chain constant region 1 (C L 1), except for the variable regions of the heavy and light chains.
  • the IgG Fc fragment may be a fragment having a deletion in a relatively long portion of the amino acid sequence of C H 2 and/or C H 3. That is, the immunoglobulin Fc fragment of the present invention may comprise 1) a C H 1 domain, a C H 2 domain, a C H 3 domain and a C H 4 domain, 2) a C H 1 domain and a C H 2 domain, 3) a C H 1 domain and a C H 3 domain, 4) a C H 2 domain and a C H 3 domain, 5) a combination of one or more domains and an immunoglobulin hinge region (or a portion of the hinge region), and 6) a dimer-of each domain of the heavy-chain constant regions and the light-chain constant region.
  • the Fc fragment of the present invention includes a native amino acid sequence and sequence derivatives (mutants) thereof.
  • An amino acid sequence derivative is a sequence that is different from the native amino acid sequence due to a deletion, an insertion, a non-conservative or conservative substitution or combinations thereof of one or more amino acid residues.
  • amino acid residues known to be important in binding at positions 214 to 238, 297 to 299, 318 to 322, or 327 to 331, may be used as a suitable target for modification.
  • a region capable of forming a disulfide bond is deleted, or certain amino acid residues are eliminated at the N-terminal end of a native Fc form or a methionine residue is added thereto.
  • a deletion may occur in a complement-binding site, such as a C1q-binding site and an ADCC site.
  • the Fc fragment may be modified by phosphorylation, sulfation, acrylation, glycosylation, methylation, farnesylation, acetylation, amidation, and the like.
  • Fc derivatives are derivatives that have a biological activity identical to the Fc fragment of the present invention or improved structural stability, for example, against heat, pH, or the like.

Thereafter, 2 ⁇ g/ml C1q (R&D Systems) was added to the plate and reacted at room temperature for 2 hrs, and the plate was washed with PBS-T six times. 200 ⁇ l of a 1:1000 dilution of a human anti-human C1q antibody-peroxidase conjugate (Biogenesis, USA) in the blocking buffer was added to each well and reacted at room temperature for 1 hr.
  • IgG1 Fc having the strongest complement activity markedly decreased when aglycosylated.
  • IFN alpha-Fc conjugates were prepared using glycosylated Fc, enzymatically deglycosylated Fc and aglycosylated recombinant Fc as carriers for IFN alpha and were evaluated for their binding affinity to C1q.
  • a glycosylated Fc-coupled IFN alpha conjugate IFN ⁇ -PEG-Fc: Glycosylated IgG1Fc maintained a high binding affinity to C1q.
  • the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention greatly increases plasma half-lives of drugs.
  • the protein conjugates overcome the most significant disadvantage of conventional long-acting formulations, decreasing drug titers, thus having blood circulation time and in vivo activity superior to albumin, previously known to be most effective.
  • the protein conjugates have no risk of inducing immune responses. Due to these advantages, the protein conjugates are useful for developing long-acting formulations of protein drugs.
  • the long-acting formulations of protein drugs according to the present invention are capable of reducing the patient's pain from frequent injections, and of maintaining serum concentrations of active polypeptides for a prolonged period of time, thus stably providing pharmaceutical efficacy.
  • the present method of preparing a protein conjugate overcomes disadvantages of fusion protein production by genetic manipulation, including difficult establishment of expression systems, glycosylation different from a native form, immune response induction and limited orientation of protein fusion, low yields due to non-specific reactions, and problems of chemical coupling such as toxicity of chemical compounds used as binders, thereby easily economically providing protein drugs with extended serum half-life and high activity.
